Things to do Historical Ghent Free Tour

Ghent, a city born between the confluence of two rivers, the Lys and the Scheldt, hence the name of the city, has been one of the most important cities in the area for centuries. It gained importance during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, thanks to its port and its powerful cloth guild, the center of the textile industry in Europe, becoming one of the richest, most powerful, and prosperous cities of those centuries on the entire continent. Thanks to this, the city of Ghent still proudly shows all its visitors these imposing, perfectly preserved medieval buildings. In Ghent, we can enjoy one of the best cathedrals in all of Belgium, with its perfectly preserved baroque jewels, opulent Gothic churches built by its wealthy guilds, a medieval port, the meeting point of the city, where the guilds are still present through their medieval houses, markets of different food products that show the best technological advances of those centuries and, what would Ghent be without its imposing castle in the very center of the city! Discover Ghent with us.
